son; but the best thing that they have
given was the lecture last Friday even

good sound sense and advice, which, if
followed, could not help making the

prosperous generally. He talks at a
lively rate, getting over great deal of
ground in a short time. Yet so plain is
his language. so well COMPOSED, and

course tickeD out of this one lecture
